Chapter 157: The Brocade Guard is in action

"Support?"

"I'm rooting for him."

In the dim candlelight, Xu Ying, who stayed in Beijing and waited for Zhang Juzheng's reply about getting married, pulled her face and almost rushed out of the swear words.

And when he heard that Cheng Jiulai informed him of Zhang Juzheng's decision to implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay grain and be on an errand, and told the ruling ministers that Xu Jie had already sent a private message saying that if he Zhang Juzheng continued to reform the system, the Xu family would continue to support and cooperate.

"It's fine if you don't support it."

"Our lord just asked me to confirm it, and by the way, let Mr. Xu know."

"Once Jiangling decides that the officials and gentry will pay for food and errands, it means that the matter is irreversible!"

"At least, there is no doubt that after asking His Majesty to announce the meeting with Qi, Li and the others during the Lingling period, he had already communicated with them;"

"And on the minister's side, there are even more Wang Yangcheng and Zhang Xinzhai who want Jiangling to do this, and they also want to take this opportunity to return the taxes to the household department, and they are not allowed to keep them!"

Cheng Jiu nodded and said at this time.

Xu Ying gritted her teeth after hearing this, and said, "Zhang Dang is hateful!" ”

Then, Xu Ying asked Cheng Jiu: "What else does Brother Shi have to say?" ”

"And."

Cheng Jiuyan said.

Xu Ying hurriedly said to Cheng Jiu: "Please also make it clear, my brother will definitely do it!" ”

Cheng Jiuyan said: "My master said, Master Jing, it's not good for him to directly summon Wang Zhongbo (Wang Jiaping) to the official residence to inquire, as long as he is far away from the place at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he can do things; ”

"When the old father returns to the south, please be sure to go to Guide to meet Shen Zhonghua, find a way to pry his mouth open, and ask him, is Jiangling doing this, is it the order of the Son of Heaven, or does Jiangling himself really want to take his own life and insist on doing such a thing that offends the gentry of the world?!"

"Please rest assured, brother will take a boat to return to Germany!"

Xu Ying replied.

Cheng Jiu nodded: "I should not stay for a long time, now I am a brocade guard, and domestic slaves need to register the reason for entering and leaving, and if I stay for a long time, I will be suspected of passing on the news." ”

After speaking, Cheng Jiu said goodbye and left.

After the ruling ministers moved into the official residence, it did cause a great obstacle for them and their families and children in Beijing to seek personal gain.

Because the official residence was guarded by the brocade guards in the name of guarding them, they showed them the gate of the official residence compound.

And no longer their house slaves watch the door.

Therefore, they and their families and children in Beijing often have to be registered when they go out.

Visiting officials are also required to register and explain the reason for their visit.

Cheng Jiu, as Zhang Siwei's domestic slave, could only come out to report the news to Zhang Siwei, and he couldn't bring any of the gifts he received into the official residence, nor could he stay outside for a long time.

Of course, this also shows that no matter how good the system is, it is not perfect after all.

It will still give people a chance to exploit loopholes.

Cheng Jiu was still able to come out in the name of procurement and inform Xu Ying of the news of the government.

However, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.

After the people of Dongchang and Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi gave full salaries and silver from time to time, they also added silver rewards to make year-end rewards, and they were no longer vegetarian organizations.

"Is this pear bun sweet?"

"Naturally sweet!"

"Keep up and see where this Chengjiu will go!"

"In addition, the incident of Cheng Jiu from Zhang Ge's hometown who left in a hurry after staying in Pinyue Tower for half a pillar of incense today is recorded!"

Therefore, the peddler who was pushing a wheelbarrow to sell pears was when a strong man in a green shirt came here to choose pears, and glanced at Cheng Jiu, who was about to leave in a carriage, and said.

The stout man in the green shirt asked the price of the peddler's pears, and said yes when he bowed his head.

And while the dealer was smiling and quoting, he really called the strong man a pear, and after trading with him, he specially shouted: "You go slowly!" ”

Although Cheng Jiu is a domestic slave, he is a secondary auxiliary domestic slave, and he naturally does not look down on these commoners such as hawkers and husbands.

Therefore, no matter how cautious he was, he only glanced at the civilians around him in a hurry, and did not stay long, and then did not find any clues, and then left in the carriage with a calm face.

When Cheng Jiu returned to the official residence, he put on a smiling face, and handed over a bag to Xu Wenren, the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard in the gate of the official residence, and said, "Master Xu, you have worked hard!" ”

Xu Wenren just bowed his head and took the door bag, without saying much.

Cheng Jiu didn't dare to say more, and even when he saw Zhu Nanyong, who Su Ri was very familiar with, coming, he didn't say hello, so he hurriedly got off the horse and let the carriage into the courtyard of the official residence.

It wasn't until after entering the hospital that Cheng Jiu gritted his teeth and muttered: "In the past, others gave Lao Tzu a door bag, regardless of whether he was the governor of another province or the official of Liangjinglang!" Now, it was replaced by Lao Tzu to give these Wu Ben Eagle Dogs benefits! ”

The reason why Zhu Nanyong came to the official residence was because he hadn't met with a certain pavilion elder for a long time.

As a result, although Zhang Juzheng intends to implement the rumors that the officials and gentry pay for the grain and the errand are flying all over the sky, he, as a royal historian of the four grades, has not been able to confirm whether the system of the official gentry paying the grain and the errand is really going to be implemented.

Zhu Nanyong really can't wait.

Because the powerful gentry behind him can't wait.

He had to put aside the advice of a certain pavilion elder for the time being, and came here with the courage to come.

"I have an urgent matter to ask to see Liu Benbing, the assistant Rong Zheng, and please be accommodating."

Coincidentally, at this time, a civil official also came over, and as he spoke, he took out a meeting ticket and handed it to Xu Wenren: "So, can you not let me register the reason?" ”

"That won't do! What if you are seen by other ministers, and after inquiry, see that I have not registered? The rules that should be followed still have to be followed. ”

At this time, Xu Wenren did not accept the ticket and refused the request of the civil official.

The civil servant had to be registered.

Seeing this, Zhu Nanyong had to leave here in a daze, giving up the idea of breaking into the official residence by bribing the brocade guards.

And after going back.

Zhu Nanyong wrote about the impeachment of others.

He wanted to impeach Xu Wenren, the general banner of the Jinyi Guard, who was on duty in the official residence, for accepting bribes from officials and domestic slaves, and sneered:

"Since this official residence system allows you to accept money and don't dare to break the rules, then I can only take the opportunity to remove the greedy people of the Jinyi Guard, and continue to let Your Majesty know that I dare to speak out and expose all the evil things of ink greed!"

So, Zhu Yijun was in the west room of the Wenhua Hall the next day, and received a report from Zhu Nanyong's impeachment of Xu Wenren, and after reading it, he said to Zhang Juzheng: "Since there is a person who accepts bribes in Jinyiwei, then this person will be dismissed from his post and imprisoned for examination according to the law!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Juzheng said yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun said again: "This Zhu Nanyong dares to speak, even my eagle dog dares to participate, even so, Mr. remember to give him an edict to encourage him." ”

Because Zhang Hong was infected with the cold, Zhang Whale, who was waiting in Wenhua Hall instead of Zhang Hong, couldn't help but pull down his face after hearing this.

Zhang Juzheng flattered because of this: "I don't show favoritism because of the bribery of my close ministers, nor do I cover up because of my officials' impeachment of my close ministers, Your Majesty's move is extremely decisive!" Indeed, it is possible to judge the country's major policies! ”

It's just that Zhang Whale's face is even more ugly because of this.

Because Xu Wenren is also his subordinate no matter what he says, this dog beating still depends on the master, even though the Son of Heaven is selfless, but what about his own face?

Therefore, Zhang Whale secretly hated Zhu Nanyong.

Zhu Yijun just smiled faintly, and then said to Zhang Juzheng: "When Mr. said this, I am naturally happy in my heart, but I know that it is not enough to be fair and clear in handling national affairs, especially if you want to do something." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Juzheng: "Mr. must have seen that there have been many ink books that have been opposed to the cancellation of preferential exemptions recently, and among them, there are many fierce words. ”

"Although the opponents are not officials in important positions, most of them are Qingliu such as the Hanlin Yuan and the Guozijian; But it can also be seen that the cancellation of preferential exemption is indeed a violation of the official gentry of the world, and if the edict of canceling preferential exemption is not guaranteed, there will be some opposition. ”

"What's more, the imperial edict has not yet been issued, and so many people have heard the rumors, so it seems that there are also people in the ruling ministers who are dissatisfied with this policy, but they don't oppose it on the surface, but secretly, they pass on the news."

"Therefore, the matter of the official gentry paying grain and working as an errand is obviously a difficult thing to do, and it should be more difficult than Qingzhang."

"But in this case, if you want to do it, how to do it, you have to guide me through the maze, so that I will not be confused, and it will be beneficial for me to pro-political country in the future!"

Zhu Yijun then spoke bluntly.
